[QUOTE="noble brown, post: 8414631, member: 653341"] Wait the only fuse that blew is the 25a on the rf amp for your sub's? You said you checked for shorted power and grounds? If so check the speaker wires to your sub's at the amp, the box terminals and inside the box at the sub's. Also make sure that both sub's are wired the same exact same way. Since it's only popping after you turn it up, I doubt that it is a power to ground short, and if it is indeed just the amp fuse blowing, assuming that is the right fuse that goes in that amp (check your manual) then I bet it's your speaker wires or wiring configuration. To be sure you can unplug the speaker wires from the amp and do exactly what you did before when the fuse blew and then check your fuse. If it doesn't blow then you know your problem is in the speaker wire somewhere (again this is assuming that the fuse rating is correct). If it still blows then it's only one of two things. Your power/ground wiring to the amp or a bad amp [/QUOTE]
